A track coach once told me that the top pole vaulters are the best athletes in track, as top pole vaulting requires speed, strength and agility.

I remember reading an article about two world class marathoners who owned a running shoe store. Occasionally a shoplifter would run away with the unpaid for goods on his feet, and one of the store owners would go after him. The store owners said they often didn't always catch up with a shoplifter right away, but sooner or later they always caught up.
